Young Rival isn’t going to just sit around waiting for that elusive record deal to happen, though. After a coast-to-coast tour (the young men came west with the Sadies last year), the band is going to head back into the studio to finish off another record its been working on in Ontario. One of the tracks, a cover of Beach House’s “Master of None,” already garnered a positive Pitchfork review.

Young Rival’s brand of ‘60s garage-influenced rock doesn’t seriously break any moulds, but it does beautifully evoke those good times when parents shook their heads at hair so long it brushed the collar, and the guys have fun doing it.

Treelight Room: treelight room began making music together in the fall of 2007… to this day nobody really knows how it happened– it just did. How fortunate that by chance they all seem to balance each other out fairly well; where one may be weaker, the other excels. In addition, as they started creating together, they found that their individual styles were different, but had enough similarity to blend and produce a pretty unique and fun sound! Since discovering that there are actually people out there who want to hear their music, Treelight Room has spent their time writing tunes and playing shows at local venues around the Okanagan and in November 2008 they professionally recorded their first EP ‘The Children Win’ which was released at the end of January 2009. In the spring of 2009 Treelight Room headed out on their first tour, hitting up BC, AB, SK, and MA, with the hopes to share their music with some more music-lovin’ Canadians! It went AWESOMELY! It has been said that Treelight Room is “Catchy as frick!” So… watch out!
